5 Celebrities On Their Battle With Body Image

Trust me, you're not the only one who struggles with body image.

5 Celebrities On Their Battle With Body Image

We've all been there. We've all dealt with the roller coaster of emotions related to our body image. There are times when you're super confident in who you are. You have the "screw what they think" mentality. Then, there are days where you are ashamed to look into the mirror. There are times when you feel hopeless.

Wait... WHY SHOULD YOU FEEL ASHAMED FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE? Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds? You're beautiful because you are authentic. You are beautiful because you are you, and there is only one you.

Don't take my word for it. Take it from them:

1. Jennifer Lawrence

Today, Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most influential actresses. You constantly see her name next to a controversial topic, and she always offers stellar advice when you need it. She talks about the pressure from filmmakers to lose weight to fit an almost unattainable body type.


2. Ellen DeGeneres

Everyone is familiar with Ellen whether it'd be her goofy talkshow or her character Dory in "Finding Nemo." Ellen has a platform that reaches many different types of people ranging from children to seniors. She uses her platform to share her thoughts and opinions on controversial topics with a light-hearted nature.

3. Tyra Banks

"You are no longer in the running to be America's Next Top Model." You've heard this before, right? Well, Tyra Banks is a huge advocate for body image despite her involvement in what seems like a heartless business.


4. Selena Gomez

To this day, Selena Gomez is still the most beautiful woman in the world (in my opinion). It baffles me that people could body-shame her. She has always been a very confident figure in the media, and she talks about how she continues to be that person even after reading all the horrible things some people have to say.


5. Demi Lovato

This interview for me is what hits home. Demi Lovato is the only celebrity I know of who has gotten this real about bullying and self-image. Her role in society has deeply affected many girls and young women across the nation to feel confident in themselves and to embrace who they are.


So as you can see, celebrities even struggle with the idea of keeping this "perfect body image." Jennifer Lawrence talked about how in the media business, they photo edit her photos when she didn't see anything wrong with them. Most of the time, the images you see aren't even real. Their photoshopped, airbrushed and altered to where you think it looks natural. It's not. The point is, you need to love yourself. If you don't, it is just going to set you up with a lot of pain and heartbreak every day.

You are beautiful. There is no one like you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
